Guy Clark - The Carpenter Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Let us now praise a carpenter and the things that he made
  • And the way that he lived by the tools of his trade
  • I can still hear his hammer singing ten penny time
  • Working by the hour till the day he died
  • Oh he was tough as a crowbar quick as a chisel
  • Fair as a plane and true as a level
  • He was straight as a chalkline and right as a rule
  • He was square with the world he took good care of his tools
  • [ guitar ]
  • Oh he worked his hands in wood from the crib to the coffin
  • With a care and a love you don't see too often
  • He built boats out of wood big boats working in a shipyard
  • Mansions on the hill and a birdhouse in the backyard
  • He was tough as a crowbar...
  • [ steel - guitar ]
  • He said anything that's worth cuttin' down a tree for
  • Is worth doin' right don't the Lord love a two by four
  • Well they asked him how to do some he'd say just like Noah built the ark
  • You got to hold your mouth right son and never miss your mark
  • To be tough as a crowbar...
